Dive Calendar

Channel Islands Dive Adventures (CIDA) runs many trips in Southern California mainly between Santa Barbara and Long Beach. We have some trips you will not find on any dive boat schedule. CIDA charters the boat, picks the planned destinations (weather permitting) and has a CIDA representative/ trip leader/host on every trip to help make sure things go smoothly, safely, pair up buddies if needed and keep things organized. Check out the CIDA Difference and book your next trip with us. Diving with CIDA is like diving with FUN family!

Don’t forget-CIDA offers a 10% discount to Military, Fire and Law Enforcement Personnel plus a 10% Student discount on any CIDA SoCal dive trip. We also give a 5% discount to members of clubs that sponsor CIDA. Not a sponsor? Let us know, it’s easy, painless, cost nothing and can benefit your dive club!

When signing up online enter “Student”, “Military”, “Fire” or “Police” for the Promo code and for clubs enter your club code.

CIDA does about 3 group scuba dive vacations every year to some very cool places and always having a trip leader/host along. Some of the places we do group trips too are not the norm so if you are into doing something a little different & unique please check out our Scuba Dive Vacations and come join us on your next adventure!

Most all of our CIDA only trips will have a photo professional on board to give one on one help to anyone who would like it. These will not be photo only trips. The guest photographers we will have on board are Michael Zeigler , Zac Araneta and Brook Peterson.

*You are responsible for all your own equipment, including tank & weights on all Channel Islands Dive Adventures dive trips*

No matter where you live or dive the weather and sea conditions can change very quickly and because of this Channel Islands Dive Adventures highly recommends having a safety signal tube on every dive, dive accident insurance such as; DiveAssure or DAN (Divers Alert Network) and up to date on any training you may need.

All destinations are subject to change depending on the weather and sea conditions. The dive boats can usually make the trips in any kind of weather, rain or shine. Sometimes the weather may not look so good, but most times there are still places to dive. The Captain of the boat being used for a particular trip has the final decision, with concern in providing for the safety and well being of the passengers and crew aboard. If the Captain or Channel Islands Dive Adventures cancels a trip, then refunds will be given. Never consider a trip cancelled until advised by the Captain or Channel Islands Dive Adventures.
